Help with tags

I suspect the root problem is that I'm not thinking in the CVS paradigm -- I'm a programmer with a timeshare in the CM hat, here, not a CM person. So here's what happened: All the files included in our 4.4.1.0 release are tagged v4_4_1_0 at the appropriate revision. Files modified since that
